Title: Pages 1, 2,.. All
Post by: Liz on June 13, 2009, 21:42

Why is it in some topics there is the option to open All pages, and in others I can only read one page at a time?  It doesn't seem to have anything to do with locked topics.

There's an option to open all pages?  Oh my...I don't spend nearly enough time on the forum to know this  ::)

Oh heck ya!  If it's long, it's way easier to open All Pages, and then hit Down.  It takes you to the beginning and you can just continue reading to the top.  It's good for the pages that are one day at a time - June 12, June 13...

For the newbies, I should say that my page is set to have the most recent post at the top, and the first one at the end.

Depends on how many pages are in the thread - up to a certain number, the system will display all so you can scroll up/down the entire thread.  Longer threads, you have to go through page by page.  I tend to look for my last post and then work my way forward ...

Thanks TPC...I usually go to my unread posts since last visit to catch up on everything...didn't even know about open all pages  :-[

I always go to the last post (mine is set up opposite of Liz) and back up until I see a post from a time I know I've read...

but this is a good lesson to not use "in the post below" or "in the post above" because it may well be backwards for other folks!  best just to refer to the post number or quote it, so as not to confuse the easily confused (like me)...

you can have your posts read in chronological order from most recent at the top versus oldest at the top.

I go oldest first, because that makes sense to my brain.  :)

it's something you can set in your profile.
